Abbey Meyer, travel advisor and CEO of Altitude Travel, spent seven years teaching high school world geography before pivoting to the travel industry. She now runs an agency with a storefront in St. Louis and a team of 22 advisors, and helping them reach their individual business goals has become one of her primary professional objectives.

In this episode, Meyer shares how her travels as a younger person — including a stint as a 6th grade student in Jamaica — influenced her career choices. Listeners will also hear about why she loves solo travel, how she tackles work-life balance as a parent and more.

This episode is sponsored by National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions.
